The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
