Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
