Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
