The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
