What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Ngauranga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
