What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages 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 might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
