If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Heretaunga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: 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 the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
