Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture 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 house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
