What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
