What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
