What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
