If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
