The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, 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 specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. 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 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
