Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by 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 deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
