The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Napier South building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
