If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
