Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
