Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
