It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Poraiti building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
