The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
