Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
