Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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 to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
