If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building 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.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

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