The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
