It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
