Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
