What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
