The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
