What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
