Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
