Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
