The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
