What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
