If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
