If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
