What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly 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 issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
