Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kenepuru building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. 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 typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
