If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Pukerua Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
