It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
