If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity 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 caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
