If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
