If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
