What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
