What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
