Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
