Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
