Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
