Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Napier building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
