If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
