Peace of Mind

We will conduct a thorough investigation of your property as well as offer you with an accurate as well as sincere detailed written report on the building including photos of any issues to ensure that the home that you purchase can be described as being of the quality you expect.

Our thorough inspection by a Thorndon building inspector usually takes between one and a half hours, and up to two hours on the site. But, we’ll allow maximum of two hours to conduct our quality pre-purchase inspections within Thorndon. Then, we spend a few additional hours in the preparation of the report.

Our reports are thorough yet understandable in an effort to inform you as best as possible about the potential of your new home. You will be in a stronger position for negotiation in the event that you are fully well-informed to make informed property decisions.

Do not pay too much for an household that’s going to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We’re aware of where the most frequent issues occur and provide specialist advice on how you can move forward.

Depending on what the completed jobs of a home inspection reveals, you may be able to utilise a report to help negotiate with the seller about price or repairs. Even if a report finds minor issues, you are able to still use it as a reference for any future maintenance.

The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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 check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could 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 are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
