What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
