The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
