Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
