You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pukerua Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
