Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: 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 found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
