Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
