Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kenepuru building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
