The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
