Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
