If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Maungaraki building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
