Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building 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 building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
