Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
