What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
