The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
