The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
