If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
