If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
