Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
