The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
