What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Horokiwi building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
