It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
