Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built 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. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
