Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
