Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
