Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
