Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
