Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
