If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Kenepuru building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
