If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
