Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
