You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could 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 for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
