Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Napier building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
