Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
