Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
