If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Naenae building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
