It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Thorndon building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
