What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
