The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

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

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
