What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
