Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred 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 might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
