Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
