Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
