What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
