What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed 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 if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
