The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
