Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kelburn building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
