If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
