Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check 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 are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
