The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
