Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
