If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
