The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
