Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
