Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
