What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
