If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
