Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
