If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Te Marua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
