Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
