What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
