Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
