Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
