If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
