Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report 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 can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
