The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
