Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
