What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
