If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Waiwhetu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is 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 house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
