If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: 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 you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
