Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
