The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
