Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Napier building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
