If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
