The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
