Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Napier building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
