Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
