The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
