Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
