If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
