Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected 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 building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed 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 if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
