Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
