What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Napier South building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
