The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
