If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
