Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
