Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could 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 house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
