Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

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

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
