Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and 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 issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
