The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
