If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
