Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
