What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
