If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Heretaunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
