If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
