If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed 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 might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
