What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
