Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
