If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
