Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
