The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Ngauranga building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
