Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
