Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
