If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
