The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
