A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
