Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kenepuru building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
