Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
