If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
