If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
