Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
