It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Thorndon building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. 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 that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.
