If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Napier building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
