Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
