The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning 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 the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s 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 are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
