What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
