If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
