If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Heretaunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
