If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
