Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
