Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Poraiti building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
