Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Ngauranga building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
