If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Wellington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
