The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
