If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications 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 moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
