What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
