What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Horokiwi

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
