Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might 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’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
