If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
