The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
