Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, 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 the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
