Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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 fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
