Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
