The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Poraiti building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
