The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Napier building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
