The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Napier building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
