The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications 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.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
