If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
