Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into 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 is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
