Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
