Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
