What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
