If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Porirua

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
