You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
