What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
