Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Kenepuru building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
