Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are 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 household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
