The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
