You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
