Our reports are comprehensive, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as best as possible about the potential of your new property. You put yourself in a better position to negotiate by being fully informed to make informed real estate decisions.

Don’t pay too much for an house which is likely to give you headaches with the possibility of future problems. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems occur, and can give you specialist advice on how you can move forward.

Based on what an house inspection uncovers it’s possible to use a report to assist you in negotiating with the vendor over price or even repairs. Even if a report discovers minor flaws, you can still use it as a guideline for future maintenance.

The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Upper Hutt building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
