If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Lower Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you 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 the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
