Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
