Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
