If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
