Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives 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 any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
