Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
