The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
