If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
