If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Waiwhetu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
