Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you 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 due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
