The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
