The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
