The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
