Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
