If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
