What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
