If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
