If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
