Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
