Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Napier building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are 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 deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage 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 home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
