If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Napier building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
