If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been 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: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
