What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Napier building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
