The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Napier South building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
