Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
