The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
