If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
