It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
