Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
