Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
