Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
