The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
