If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
