What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
