Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected 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 are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
