Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
