What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
