The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
