The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
