Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
