The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. 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 moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
