Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Napier building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
