Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
