When purchasing a home, the kitchen requires extra attention

You've found a beautiful home, and everything looks excellent. Even the kitchen looks brand new and undamaged. Are you sure? There could be a lot wrong with a kitchen, even if nothing seems amiss at first glance. Therefore, always have your kitchen inspected by a professional. Homekeur will conduct a building inspection for you, paying particular attention to the condition of the kitchen.

What needs to be checked in the kitchen?

There are many things that need to be checked in the kitchen. These are often things you easily forget or overlook when viewing a property . For example, consider testing the drain by running the tap properly, testing the necessary appliances in the kitchen, and checking the extractor fan and ventilation. You might also consider checking the caulking, tiling on walls and floors, the woodwork on the cabinets, and the hardware, for example.

The most diverse questions are answered

A building inspection is intended to determine the condition of the house. The kitchen is, of course, not overlooked. Important questions need to be answered here, such as:

  • Is the tap properly installed and maintained?
  • Does the water in the sink drain quickly enough?
  • Is the flue gas exhaust connected to 'outside'?
  • Is the right amount of water coming out of the tap?
  • Are there any defects in the sink, the connections or the siphon?
  • Do cabinets, doors and drawers function as they should?
  • Is the foil on doors and cabinets coming loose somewhere?
  • What is the quality of the kitchen worktop?

During a building inspection, a wide variety of aspects of the kitchen are examined. The questions mentioned above and many others are answered, giving you a clear overview of the kitchen's condition.

What costs should you take into account?

Once a building inspection has been performed, you'll know exactly what costs to expect. For example, if a wooden countertop has been exposed to heavy water exposure, it may have rotted on the inside. As a result, the faucet can no longer be securely mounted, and the overall countertop will be significantly weakened. Replacement will be recommended, and this will incur significant costs. The building inspection report, including recommendations, will inform you of this. Of course, this is just an example. The report will provide clarity on the costs involved in restoring the kitchen to its original condition.
