Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
