What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
