What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
