If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
