Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
