What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
