Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
