Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Kenepuru building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
