If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
