If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Maungaraki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
