The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying 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, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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 check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
