What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

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 underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
