Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
