The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Ngauranga building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
