Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Kenepuru building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
