What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
