Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
