The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, 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 professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and 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 problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
