What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
