Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
