The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
