Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
