Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
