Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

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

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
