If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Hutt Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
