If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
