The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or 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 that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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 will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
