If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Kelburn building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
