The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
