The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
