What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
