If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
