If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
