If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread 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 property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
