What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to 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 piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
