What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
