Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
