Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
