Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
