If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects 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 or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp 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 built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
