If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
