The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
