If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
