Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
