If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Naenae building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
