If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
