Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
