The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home 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, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
