Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kenepuru building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
