What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
