The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Naenae building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
