Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
