The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
