Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: 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 will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
