Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
