Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kenepuru building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
