If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
