Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
