Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kenepuru building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
