The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, 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 expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Expert Building Inspections Thorndon

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
