Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is 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 the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
