The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
