What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
