What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

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

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
