If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
