What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Ngauranga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
