What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been 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 cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
