Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
