What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
