Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
