Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
