Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
