It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
