Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
