If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kilbirnie building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
