Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Kenepuru building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
