What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Napier building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
