If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Wellington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are 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 pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
