It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
