Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
