What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
