What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
