What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
