If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
