The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
