Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
