If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
