What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

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 well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
