What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
