Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to 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 require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
