The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

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

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
