Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Porirua

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
