The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
