What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
