The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
