If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
