Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
