If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pauatahanui building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
