What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
