What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but 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 qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house 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.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
