If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Porirua building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check 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 siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
