The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
