The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Napier South building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
