Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
