If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
