If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
