The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
