If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Hutt Central building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
