If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
