If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Karori building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
