Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
