The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
