Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in 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 will take to remove, and the price of removal.
