If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Napier building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: 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 the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
