If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Porirua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
