If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
