If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
