If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
