What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could 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 finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
