If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
