Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
