Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
