What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Ngaio building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
