The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
