Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
