What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
