The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
