Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
