Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
