Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Napier South building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs 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 the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
