The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
