Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

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