Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
