The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
