If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
