Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting 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 piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
