What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
