Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
