The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified 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. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
