Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
