Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Kenepuru building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
