If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
