What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
