Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
