If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
