Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
