The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
