What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
