'If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are going'. Another proverb cautions our hopes and expectations. 'Be careful about what you wish for, you just might get it'. You need to understand all the possibilities because you may be unhappy with what you get. Take care and thanks for looking in.
Pre-purchase: An in-depth knowledge of construction techniques that can give an insight into what may lie below the surface. Identification of inadequate design or construction techniques and inappropriate use of materials.
General: Condition surveys, solutions. Dampness report, ground dampness, leaks, condensation control. Surveys of new dwellings and commercial premises during construction.
The desire to buy any particular property is partially an emotional response formed within a short time. An offer made conditional upon an appraisal that is satisfactory to you can complement your own impressions before you decide to confirm.
Before you buy, obtain a rational property assessment to complement your own impressions. There may be an unrealistic expectation that the property will have complied with recognised standards and with the New Zealand Building Code. A home with substantial defects burdens your income and time.
A property agent's commission usually depends on completion of the sale. Could this affect any recommendation by the vendor's agent? An inadequate appraisal will help the agent achieve their goal, but you may take ownership of a property with unforeseen problems. An inadequate appraisal may facilitate the sale by failing to note significant defects. Make an offer subject to an appraisal that is satisfactory to you before you buy.
As well as any apparent defects, risks in construction, design and materials can incur significant repair costs. What if the home has some problems? You may decide that this is not the property for you, or you may negotiate with the vendor if you still wish to buy.
