What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Kenepuru building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
