If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
