If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
