Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs 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.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
