The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
