What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
