Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
