The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
