Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
