If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
