If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
