Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
