Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
