Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
