What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning 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 pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
