The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
