Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
