Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the 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 cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
