The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
