The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
