What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Napier building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
