If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
