A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
