Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

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