Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
