What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
