Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
