Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
