The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
