Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
