If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
