Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Napier building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
