What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Naenae building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Naenae

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
