Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Poraiti building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
