If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Kelburn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
