The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
