If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
