The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious 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 property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
