What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
