Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kenepuru building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
