What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Napier South building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
