The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
