If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
