If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
