Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
