What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
