Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
