You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
