The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Ngaio building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
