Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
