If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Comprehensive Building Inspections Thorndon

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
