Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
