If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Waitangirua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
