If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kaiwharawhara building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
