Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
