What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Ngauranga building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
