It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
