Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
