The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Porirua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity 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 gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
