What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
