The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
