Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Kenepuru building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
