The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building 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 costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
