What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
