Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
