The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
