Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Upper Hutt building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
