What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture 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 your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
