What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
