Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
