If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Ngauranga building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
