If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
