The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
