Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
