If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
