Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
