The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified 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 will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
