Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
