The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
