The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
