What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
