The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
