What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
