The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, 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 building is a leaky building or issues that result from 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 costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
