What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
