What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
