It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
