If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Upper Hutt building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
