If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built 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 piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
