Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are 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: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
