What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Ngaio building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
