If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Kilbirnie building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
