The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kenepuru building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
