Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
