Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
