What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Napier South building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
