If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
