The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on 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, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
