What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
