It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report 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 makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
