Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed 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 pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
