If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

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 problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household 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 piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
