The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
