The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
