The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
