It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
