You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
