If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.
