Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
