A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
