What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
