Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
