Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
