Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
