Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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 house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
