What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
