If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
