Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
