If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

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. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
