If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure 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.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
